It will hopefully blow over after this weekend. Most of the rioting took place on/around the Downtown Mall. UVA grounds should be fine. And I'm sure all sorts of extra security will be put in place. I wouldn't worry!

Just so everyone knows, this group is NOT from Charlottesville. They've come to town to protest the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. They are evil, neo-nazis who are a disgrace to this city and this country.

While yes, that is a heart with the donor cells "stripped away," there has been no successful attempt to reseed it with the patient's own cells. The heart is far too complicated to simply "reseed it." While we have been able to do this with much less complicated structures (such as blood vessels), we are years away from being able to tissue engineer something as complicated as a heart. When we do though, there are almost limitless opportunities that will come from it. This is absolutely the future of medicine!
